The best designed play I've seen in a long time

Canada is basically drawing up schoolyard plays that just always seem to work but this one was ridiculously well designed and executed. It probably went unnoticed in a blowout but.....

Peterman pump faked a quick out and got the defense flowing to his left, then he took off on what I thought was a designed QB run and as he took off, he had some space and I was thinking it could be a nice 6-10 yard run because he sold his pump fake so well, the defenders were out of position. Then as the Safety realizes Peterman is running the ball, he comes up to stop it, Conner slips by him and Peterman drops it over him for maybe the easiest TD all season.

It was almost like a triple option but in a different way. Fake pass, draw the D, fake run, draw the D, then long pass.

Canada blows my mind every week. This guy is totally unbelievable. Barnes needs to do everything in his power to keep him.
 
Yeah, that was one of the cooler plays I've seen all season. I dont think ive ever seen a pump fake, run, and throw like that. I wouldn't be surprised if other teams took notice and will add it to their playbook.

This has been a special offense to watch and I think it only gets better. It feels a little like FSU in the 80s when they were so far ahead of the curve with the trick plays and innovative offense. Of course they had a much much better defense but I think we'll get there.

Danny Kannell on College Football Final said "that play just isn't fair." He also went out of his way to note the creativity of our offense and said its been fun to watch.

Canada also ran a play where he disguised the jet sweep by having Q stop running in motion to the left side of the line. Peterman then faked to Conner running to the left and handed off to Q. The defense followed Conner because Henderson stopped going in motion and he ran 60 yards for a TD.

Awesome play.

He then ran it again with Ffrench the very next offensive play for a TD.
 
Tim Tebow made that play famous

The Fraud ran a similar play with Tino a few times; once for a TD against Iowa. Tino faked a handoff and ran to the right, then pulled up and threw to Street.

Peterman fake threw to the left, started running to the right then pulled up and hit Conner.
 
Haha, I couldn't stop laughing when they just ran it again and it worked. I was high fiving everyone around me and saying "same F-ing play! SAME F-ing play!"

Actually I remember Tino....of all people.....running it twice successfully under Cignetti.

You have to think he ran the pass play with O'Neill just to get the bowl team we play to think about that. That will keep that DB deep if he tries to run O'Neill in the bowl game.

That is a common play that spread offenses use. Its a triple option. The QB can hand it off or keep it but if he keeps it, he has a 3rd option to throw it to a WR like he did with Street.

Peterman's play was different because they faked a bubble screen to the left and got the D flowing that way, then he takes off running and the D reacts to that, then floats it over everyone for a TD. I've never seen that.

Canada is honestly making sh!t up as he goes.......and it works every single time. The guy is unreal.
 
Well one of the three defenders shoulda stayed with Conner.... But agree it was a great play
 
How refreshing this year has been to watch the offense go nuts with all these creative plays!

And they are not flea flickers or double reverses that don't work much. They seem to work every time and he adds news plays weekly.
